We will be using a course packet available at 참글. I have uploaded the course packet for Fall 2013; however, this is only for reference.
The general purpose of this course is to provide teachers-in-training with insight into the task-sequencing and material design and development for young learners. Some of the topics we will discus this semester are:
Lectures from previous semesters are currently available. If time permits, I will try to update files to reflect what we are doin this semester, but that may not happen. Remember to access these files you will need your ID and Password. Email me if you require the updated version of the lecture.

Attendance/Participation
Attendance is mandatory: Participants who arrive to class 10 minutes or
more after class begins will be considered late. Participants who are late
3 times will receive 1 absence. Any participant who misses 1/4 of all
class meetings will receive an F. Mastery of the ideas and concepts of
this course requires engagement and discussion. If you are not in class,
you miss that opportunity to exchange ideas. Moreover, participation is
also essential. Just coming to class is not enough. I expect all
participants to be active in class discussion and lectures as well as to
complete all oral and written assignments.
Homework on Readings
Each reading comes with guiding questions. Look over the questions before
you read and then answer the questions after you read. Questions will be
collected and assessed the week after they are assigned.
Lesson Plans & Materials 1 &2
These two assignments are critical to success in this course. Participants
will be expected to write a student learning objective (SLO), design a
lesson plan to achieve the SLO, and select, adapt, and/or
supplement the materials that the Ss will need to complete the lesson
successfully.
I will add a list of resources as the semester progresses
